How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:5 openssl-perl to version 0:0.9.8b-8.3.el5_0.2 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2007-0964.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl-perl package and not the openssl-perl package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The BN_from_montgomery function in crypto/bn/bn_mont.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8e and earlier does not properly perform Montgomery multiplication, which might allow local users to conduct a side-channel attack and retrieve RSA private keys.
